Living Room / Re: Against TED talks

How to sound smart while giving your TED talk:
Thank you mouser!
Actually, don't know whether to thank you or curse you  :-\.  Gave up on TED after the 3rd or 4th viewing, when it became evident that the presentations were more political/opinion than truly informational/scientific.  Now I'll have to find the time to go back and review the few that I watched, and watch a few more, with this in mind (hence the possible curse  :P).  In either case, this has been the most educational and informative TED that I've seen or am likely to see (prejudgement?!?)

Funny thing is, I learned [or maybe not?] all this when I was given presentation training.  Just hadn't thought to apply it to TED  :mad: [sigh /].

Who would want to  be a solipsist? You would be a supremely religious atheist, a totalitarian anarchist, a serial-killing war-mongering suicidal pacifist, a criminal kingpin who is also the police, an institutionalized maniac who is also a psychiatrist. Who would want to be such a conflicted manic-depressive? Being a serial killer with immortal victims would add to your insanity if that is possible.
Hm-m-m-m ... those descriptives seem applicable to a few of the politicians I have known  :P.  Particularly when it comes to their understandings of the internet :o :-\.

And thus an ode to electricity
...

"In charge" and "shock" ???  I have to cast my volt against that.  :)

Meh. To each their own. Some people get really amped up about it.

But we all know resistance is futile.  :)


But capacitance has potential!

I just hope the discussion doesn't get too polarized.  Mouser will ban us to the basement.


An ode will then be required.
ode?  or oh'd  :-\?
